Winter Woman (Korean: 겨울여자; RR: Gyeo-ul-yeoja) is a 1977 South Korean film. It is based on a novel by Cho Hae-il which was serialised in the Chosun Ilbo in 1975.[1] The popularity of the novel led to the film being made. Dealing with the sexual awakening of the female protagonist, the book and film earned the condemnation of conservative critics,[2] however, the author's leftist subtext was overshadowed by their sexual themes. The film was the best selling Korean film of the 1970s,[3] and made a star of its female lead Chang Mi-hee.[2]
